medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture

To go with Paul's view of the cemetery at Parkminster Charterhouse:

here's a distance aerial view of the one at the Charterhouse of Serra San Bruno (VV) in Calabria:

Again, not much space for new graves.  But, the earth being kept bare, plenty of opportunity for tending.
With the exception of some early modern ruins, the structures here are all late nineteenth- and twentieth-century.

For roughness comparable to that at Parkminster, see this view of the cemetery of the charterhouse at Farneta (LU) in Tuscany:

And, for those who have not yet had their fill of charterhouses, the one at Serra San Bruno has an English-language page here:
